One woman and three men are being detained at the Ionia County Jail following an arrest made Thursday at about 4:30 p.m. by members of the Ionia Department of Public Safety.

IDPS Deputy Director John Odette said the department received a call from Sparrow Ionia Hospital concerning chemical inhalation. Upon arrival, the patient was cleansed in a decontamination shower and interviewed, which lead police to believe the suspect was suffering from methamphetamine inhalation.

The suspect led police to a residence at 436 E. Main St., which previously had been condemned by the Ionia County Health Department due to a lack of running water, according to a press release from the Ionia County Sheriff's Office. The suspects had removed the notice stating the house's status, Odette added.

Warrants were obtained and members of the Central Michigan Enforcement Team were called in, and evidence of an active meth lab were discovered, he said.

Five subjects, including a 16-year-old, were in the residence. Matthew Aaron Smith, 23, from Texas, Cory Beebe, 22, of Lyons, Chelsea Bauer, 22, of Carson City and Adam Sears, 22, of Ionia, were arrested after meth components were found, Odette added.

The four suspects are being held at the jail on charges of manufacturing methamphetamines, operating and maintaining a lab involving methamphetamines and resisting and obstructing arrest, Odette said.

The meth bust was the second within the Ionia city limits since the beginning of 2013.

Assisting CMET included the Ionia County Sheriff’s Office, the Ionia Department of Public Safety, Michigan State Police, the Ionia County Health Department and the Ionia Department of Human Services.
